Hi markdrumsamson1,
Have you read the tutorial post here?
It has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines that can help you make the best possible choices … and know how to avoid the worst ones.
Once you get to step 3 … the better options or possibilities I’m aware of in the Cincinnati area are listed in post #212 here.
While only you can decide on which specific mattress is “best for you” (you are the only one that can feel what you feel on a mattress), the information in the tutorial post will help you with choosing who to deal with and “how” to make the best choice. It will also help you understand the importance of knowing the quality/durability of the materials in your mattress so you don’t end up choosing a mattress that has a great “showroom feel” or good PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) only to find that the quality of the materials (especially in the comfort layers) is so low that the materials break down or soften much too quickly and the mattress loses it’s comfort or support which is the reason you purchased it in the first place. The loss of comfort and support means you may need to replace the mattress much sooner than you hoped (with no warranty coverage because the loss of comfort and support isn’t covered by warranties).
